“Texan-born Don Toliver flies the flag high for Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack Records collective. His debut album, ‘Heaven Or Hell’, was utterly flawless with its hyper-lucid atmosphere and addictive hooks; a year later and it’s a Gold-selling record. Between then and now, Toliver’s fame has only risen – he’s leant vocals to notorious musical collective Internet Money’s Lemonade’ – and his follow-up ‘”

“The Texas rapper’s latest album sounds so damn good that the emptiness of it all is an afterthought.”

“Don Toliver continues to refine the sound that's made him one of the most recognizable artists to emerge from Houston in the past decade on his fifth studio effort OCTANE. Across a hefty 18 tracks, he fully leans into his psychedelic trap instincts, delivering an interesting record with some hidden gems. At this length, it's hard to argue that every song is essential. While there aren't many outr”

“**💭 Thoughts:** Don Toliver’s 2026 studio album OCTANE is the Texan rapper/singer’s most hazy, atmospheric, and psychedelic record yet—a sound that I find to work exceptionally well with his melodic and airy vocal style. While the rapper doesn’t offer up any depth when it comes to lyricism, he makes up for it with the highly consistent instrumentals and vocals. It’s more of an album you’d listen to for the vibes rather than a life-changing experience. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) E85 🟢 2.) Body 🟢 3.) Rendezvous 🔵 4.) Secondhand 🟢 5.) Tiramisu 🔵 6.) ATM 🟢 7.)

Heaven Or Hell

“**💭 Thoughts:** Don Toliver’s 2020 debut album *Heaven or Hell* has the Texas rapper taking a more atmospheric route compared to his 2018 mixtape *Donny Womack*. Although many people consider Don Toliver’s career at this point in time just a shadow of Travis Scott’s, I personally love this album and believe it’s far more consistent and superior to Travis Scott’s *ASTROWORLD*, the album where Don Toliver began gaining recognition from his feature on “CAN’T SAY”. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.)
